> Shantanoo, can you tell whether this is needed for Marathi, too? Thank you.

Yes. It will be nice to have feature.

Going forward, I am trying to find out whether it '~' should be used for ' ्'
always. Something similar to inscript layout (one needs to type 'd' for ' ्').

I tried to find out some statistics on marathi hunspell dictionary. 

First I splitted the words in composite cluster.
e.g. विकी = वि + की (and not as व + ि + क + ी)

Found total 905027 composite clusters. Out of them, 126731 had '्' in them.
That's around 14% (126731/905027 = .14)
Which is quite low. 86% of time we don't use ' ्'. And still we end up typing
extra 'a' to remove ' ्'.

All, what should be implemented? Should we still add viram by default and have
consonant (only for 'a') to remove it? Or should we have '~' to be typed when
viram is required?
